1. [+205] Huh? New Jeans may be popular but I didn't think they'd beat out IVE? And even Aespa..? 

2. [+105] No TXT...? 😢

3. [+98] Where's ITZY and TXT...? ITZY and TXT are some of the leaders of the fourth generation groups

4. [+40] No.. TXT?

5. [+12] Treasure Treasure Treasure Treasure!!!!!

6. [+11] Why is there no TXT?

7. [+4] Pretty surprised at the boy group list....

8. [+4] I mean, who cares if your group is or isn't on this list.. It's not like the opinions of these people are the end all, be all..

9. [+10] Amazing of our Aespa.. congratulations to the other groups too 👏

10. [+2] The groups were sorted by those that debuted after 2020 so TXT isn't on it because they debuted March of 2019! I was suprised when I didn't see them on the list at first as well

11. [+8] This list was chosen by 'industry experts', this isn't a popularity vote so why are the comments so fussy...

12. [+5] The article clearly says it was only for groups debuted after 2020 so why are you complaining about your biases not being picked without even bothering to read the article? 

13. [+8] ENHYPEN 🔥

14. [+8] Jjangspa the best ❤️❤️
